Father's Day - Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Sunday was Father's Day! We had a BBQ for my Dad, my husband, and my brother. My husband's favorite dessert is mayonnaise cake. I know this sounds gross, but its wonderful. Mayonnaise is made with eggs and oil and the mayo in this cake replaces the eggs and oil in the recipe, so that makes it easy, and simple to make. I frost this cake with a homemade cocoa frosting, but sometimes I also frost it with buttercream. Its delicious and gets better the day after you make it. Its heavy, dense, chocolatey, and roll-your-eyes-back-in-your-head delicious!

Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, tossing lightly with a spoon to mix. Combine the mayonnaise, water (or coffee), and vanilla in a smaller bowl; add to the dry ingredients, beating with the mixer on medium for three minutes.

Pour into a sprayed 9 x 13 pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minute or until springy and a knife comes out clean.

About Me

I am mom to two beautiful young ladies, now almost all grown up! I married my high school sweetheart and we couldn't be happier! I love to find ways to do it all myself, whether its making a bar of soap or a biscuit. My kids think I've lost it, but I just like doing it "At Home My Way."
